Step 2: Cutting Cardboard.
Write down whatever you want to say, in this case I wrote:
{Free
Selva.} Selva means rainforest in spanish :D
And cut it carefully, make sure you have a sharp knife and a safe place to cut. Avoid slippery surfaces. Find yourself a piece of wood to cut on, or a cuttiing board.
Again, if you want a slick stencil, read this: Slick stenciling

Step 3: Testing Stencil.
Make sure you test your stencil, it'll give you an understanding of the feeling of the cardboard, you might need a thicker one, or you might need to add extra cardboard in order to hold it better, or to attach it to something. In this case I had to add some extra cardboard with tape because I thought I needed a hinge to wrap the cardboard around the adhesive label paper to hold it still while spraypainting it.
Step 4: Cutting the Adhesive Paper.
I bought letter sized adhesive label paper (8.5" x 11" or 21.6cm x 27.9cm) and had to cut it in half along the long side, so I ended up with two pieces measuring 4.25" x 11" or 10.8cm x 14cm, which is a perfect size to wrap around the toilet paper, it covers pretty much all the main labels.
Step 5: Get Ready, the Time Has Come!
Rady to stencil it?
GO!
...don't forget to wear the mask!!!!
See the wrapping thingie I mentioned before? 2nd picture.
You can tag at will if you want too as well.

Step 6: Peeling + Sticking.
You've got the adhesive paper stenciled, and the toilet paper is screaming to be tagged.
Step 7: Sowing Seeds Instructions + Custom Envelopes.
Print the instructions of how to sow the seeds, I used Cilantro/Coriander seeds, make sure you print the instructions big enough to make envelopes with the printouts, and to fit a bunch of seeds per envelope...people should be able to grow their own plants from your seeds. Make the envelope first, then put the seeds inside, the picture I posted is just for the sake of clarity, but if you want it complicated...
Step 8: Stuffing.
Envelopes are ready, toilet paper rolls are ready, got to mix them both now, and pack them.
Step 9: Shop Dropping.
Select a target.
Step 10: Drop 'em!
You're here, no runaways now, walk in with confidence and leave your peaceful gift. Let people come to it and see your project going houses you'll never set a foot in.
Step 11: Say Goodbye.
Bye bye, and thank you K-Mart.
